Champagne Gosset Limited Edition Gift Pack.  Add/Read Comments

Champagne Gosset is about to launch the first of several limited edition gift packs for its Grande Reserve blend. When I worked, all those years ago, in a wine shop I had two people who collected such items (is there a name for collectors of such packs?); but for the rest of us I expect a 'limited edition' tin is of less interest than the wine inside.

Champagne Gosset is the oldest house in Champagne, founded in 1584. Grande Reserve is a blend of three vintages and three grape varieties: 46 per cent Chardonnay, 39 per cent Pinot Noir and 15 per cent Pinot Meunier. "Skilfully blended by cellar master Jean-Pierre Mareignier, it is an excellent example of the Gosset style of champagnes and the time it spends in oak brings touches of vanilla and brioche to its superb roundness."

The new gift pack will be available from Harrods, Selfridge's, House of Fraser and other fine wine stockists such as Stanton Wine Company from October and will cost around £35 per pack.
